Stark -- there are 2 loops quite close together. From Orpen, Bobbejaanskrans is the first one and is, I think sign-posted (by the normal brick/stone table setup ) The road actually goes up a hill (the riverbank) and the lookout is at the top where you can get out and sit quietly on a bench and enjoy the view.

The second loop is not to far along from that and is actually a road which leads along the top of the river bank for some way (maybe a km or 2). When we were last there, the undergrowth was very thick, so there were only a couple of places where the river bed was visible.

We have been lucky at Bobbejaanskrans, watched some ellies grazing on the trees opposite the river bed and some bush buck with young just as you turn off. I think our best luck were the pack of wild dogs (who we saw earlier the morning tracking their meal) killed and eaten their breakfast right at the turn off!

It's such a nice place just to sit and have a cold one before heading off to Tamboti/Orpen or Satara...ahhh...wish I was there now after seeing the photos

To us this is one of the favorites of the many lookouts in Kruger (actually they are all our favorites ). This year in May we also saw elephants grazing on the other side of the river bed. The next morning when we went there again from Orpen we had a baboon troop tirelessly clowning around. It is nice to drink an early morning coffee at Bobbejaankrans and smell the freshness of the veldt.

“Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got.”

Meandering Mouse that photo will make me quit my job to go and sit on that bench permanently!! Love the spot there as well, Saw a honey badger down in the river bed in June at about 11:00 in the morning! Did not expect that one at all Had some nice bird sightings as well with a little Cape Batis right next to me as well as a Bennett's woodpecker in the tree below.
